It was discovered that ppp incorrectly handled large PIDs. When pppd is used with a RADIUS server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause it to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
